This was a sweet moment to capture at CrossFit Loft, even though it's something that happens all the time in every CrossFit Gym. It really is the only sport where you see this type of support from everyone. Sharon has come a long way from where she started, just like the rest of us. She was just featured as the member spotlight of the gym a couple days before. You can read it here. 
Commercial Photo Shoot
Working with Cole Davis back in January was one of my favorite projects this year. I met him at the Fort Vancouver Invitational and we decided to invite some athletes to hang out with us and take some pictures. It was a great experience for me to learn from him and pick his brain on lighting equipment. I also enjoyed seeing how another photographer works and creates their story. Thank you so much to Ashleigh Moe, Kelsey Nagel, and Lincoln Smith for hanging out with us on a Saturday afternoon. The best compliment we got was from Lincoln Smith at the end of the project when he asked if we had worked together before, because we complimented each others styles so well.

I feel like my photography is very cyclical, just like my dating life when I was single, job hunt when unemployed, and performances doing CrossFIt. Sometimes you hit a lull, and other times it seems it feels like the universe is perfectly aligned to reward you. Two main page photos in 9 days, which is actually the second time this has happened for me. I find consistency to be the hardest aspect of sports or personal relationships , but as I continue to grow as a photographer, consistincy is what I'm seeking. This photo was part of the CrossFit Team Series and I thought it had main page potential when I saw it. It tells a story, has an elite athlete, olympic lifitng and American flag.
